HER.
Aztec Aug 12
Seeing her in her prime made me feel small. She’s beautiful and breathtaking, and I can see why it would be so hard to forget her. Knowing her before she blossomed would’ve been an honor—to know her deepest secrets, to understand her struggles—but not knowing her successes is brutal. I get it. I feel you. But my heart, my mind, my soul crave that connection too. You crave her, you miss her, and I can’t escape her. Her, her, her. Without her, there’s no us. Without her, I can’t fight for you, and I wouldn’t want to. I crave the destruction of my self-worth as I stay with you, watching you admire her from afar. You’re here with me, but you’re really here without her.

I don’t know why my heart loves you so much. I don’t know why my soul cries for you so much. I don’t know why my brain can’t erase you. It’s just my self-worth asking, aching for freedom. I know the love I’m capable of giving. I know the love I’m giving and not receiving. I know the love that will hurt me. I know the love I deserve but don’t crave. I wish it was me instead of her. I wish she’d disappear so I could finally have you to myself. But without her, there is no us. Without her, we can’t prove we belong together. Without her, there’s just no us.

Missed.
Aztec May 2022
I wished you’d tell me you miss me…so i can know that I’m not wasting my time missing you.
Does this make sense? It sounded good at the moment.

18
I use to shiver at the sight of 18
I use to frown
I use to cry
I use to drink
Now
I laugh
I smile
I thank
I cheer
Moving on from you was finally accomplished.
I’ll love you forever within.
My 18.
It’s been 2 years since I wrote something.
I missed it even though I **** at it.

Thankful for my ex
Aztec Dec 2018
I miss him cause he showed me how to be treated.
He showed me that if someone really wanted to see me they will
If someone really cared they’ll show it
If someone really loved you they’ll tell you
He showed me how someone who truly wants to be with you will sacrifice and make it work.
Yes we did end but it was all peaceful.
He was literally put in my life to show me how to be treated.

I’ve been having writer’s block
I stare at this piece of paper trying to think of ways to express the love I have for him
But all the possible sentences end it in goodbye.

what do you do?
Aztec Jan 2018
it’s so hard to keep cheering on someone
when all they do is show you why to stop.
It’s harder on you because you know how             much potential they have & what do you do from there? Do you stay to show your loyalty or do you leave like everyone else has in  their life ? It’s not your priority to stay and they didn’t ask you to either. But what do you do?

Home
Aztec Sep 2017
I'm almost home
to the drinking
to the sad music
to the missing
&
The crying
To the praying
&
To the sadness
It's all I ever known
So I call it home.
Heartbreaks = Home to me.
Heartbreaks tend to help grow alot and I become better.

For once I just want to be loved unconditionally

I'm so tired of hoping that your happy with me.
I'm so tired of praying that you'll stay with me
I'm so tired of trying to be your it girl
I'm so tired of holding in my anger
I'm so tired of bitting my tung to not say words that would ever jeopardize us.
I'm so tired of being tired
& Yet I stay.
My heart is starting to ache again.

The pledge
Aztec Dec 2016
Regardless how happy I am. I will never believe words. I will never give my heart and soul to the fullest anymore. I will not give my self or let anyone give me  false hope ever again. I will **** before I break.

Aztec Nov 2016
Maybe creating new memories wasnt a good idea
Maybe i shouldve stayed to my self for a little longer
Maybe I wasnt meant to be in love ever again.
Maybe I wasnt ready for this
Why is everything so complicated?
I hear the alcohol calling.
Im coming.

To finnally say goodbye.

Alcohol
Aztec Oct 2016
When you left
I needed a new addiction
something that would let me forget you but would let me  remember  how your tongue tasted.
Soon after that alcohol turn into my baby.

Thank you
Aztec Oct 2016
I want to thank you
For opening new doors for me,
You helped me discovered new music that helped me cope with your absence.
You helped me get that promotion in my job that I put my time in to, to not think of you.
You helped me run to my new lover arms
who reminded me im beautiful and worth something.
So thank you for breaking me
Thank you for letting me know theres always something better at the end.
I just hope someone breaks you even worse to get the very best you deserve.

A year after (9/23/16)
Aztec Sep 2016
I forgot how his grin was,
I forgot the warmth of his hands on a fall night.
I forgot
I forgot the way he would hold me
and I forgot the way he would look at me.
But if I saw him again
I know it will still hurt
Everything will come back.
Im okay now. Ive accepted everything.
Last day of my poem series.

That night (9/23/2015 )
Aztec Sep 2016
I was destroyed
I was numbed
I was crying
I was holding my phone on my chest waiting for that vibration to act as a electric shock to my heart...
HOPE
I couldn't  eat
I couldn't sleep
I couldn't feel
After that night Everything felt distanced
" But I was so happy" I would tell my self
I would question my beliefs
I would question all the sins i've done
I would cry out "Im sorry" to the people i've hurt unintentionally.
But I realized he was Judas.
My own Judas.

Aztec Sep 2016
When I saw you again.
My heart was pounding so dam hard
I couldn't breathe, My body was so tense my hands were shaking.
Everything felt like a dream, I couldn't believe it  you were right in front of me.
A year of missing you and having scenarios of seeing you again.
Here you are.
I hugged you without hesitating,
Your warmth
your cologne
your body
All in my arms.
Your voice was music to my ears.
That grin that made me melt.
we shared a laughed one more time
And that kiss at the end made me sure it wasn't a dream.
I got what I wanted but I was selfish and I asked for more.

Today ( 9/23/2015)
Aztec Sep 2016
Today marks the day,
The day I grew the courage to speak to you.
The day I got so tired of missing you.
I sended that text at the same time you used to call me
3 A.M.
The amount of relief I felt on my chest ...
The peace that was in me ... I regret not savoring  it as much.
Those 5 minutes of waiting in a more civilized way, with out craving anything not your words or your voice.
Not caring if I was even going to have a chance to see you or kiss you or if this was going to solve anything.
But you called and my peace was gone.
First day of my poem series.

Judas
Aztec Aug 2016
He was like Judas
He came into my life like a friend  
He came into my life and showed me trust
He gave me everything I needed
He was like Judas and decided it was time
His kiss was his goodbye.
He was like Judas and left me asking why
He was like Judas and that was his beautiful
Goodbye.

- Aztec
It took me a whole year to describe him and I think I nailed it.
